18 Tips for Journalists: How to convert Writing Stories in a refinery. Indelible by Journalism

By Dario Davila

I have seen many media directors, chief editors and news managers, trying to pull her hair when the stories of its reporters do not fulfill the promise to think, have enough sources or be well told.

Here are some helpful tips I have learned from many colleagues experienced in my time in several essays:


1. Tenga presente que no existen periódicos aburridos, sino redacciones con falta de pasión y capacidad de asombro.
2. Los reporteros debemos recordar que cada contamos historias estamos generando memoria en nuestros lectores.
3. Un reportero no puede salir a la calle sin haber leído lo que publica su periódico en cualquiera de sus plataformas.
4. Un jefe de información nunca debe abandonar la calle virtual (Redes) y la física.
5. El Jefe de Información debe ser el hombre mejor informado de la ciudad; sabe dónde hay calles con baches, si el alcalde respiró de más o si lloverá por la tarde.
6. Una redacción que arranca motores más temprano, tendrá la oportunidad de ajustar, refine and better target stories.
7. Start early to start planning is at 12:00 of the day, but at 8.00 am or 3 days earlier.
8. A clear orders to clear results: Reporters who receive work orders with defined corners, narrative ideas and even publishing products such as computer graphics, photo gallery and podcast will go to the streets to get that menu cooking history.
9. Editors should take the best from their reporters and make the necessary questions so that their stories are just, well told, researched and presented.
10. The best editor is not one that sticks massively paragraphs on a page, but one who is a distiller Stories on any platform.
11. Journalism "share" information only impoverishes the quality of the stories.
12. It is therefore important that the CIO manages talent for the final recipe of the story is not dependent on a single reporter, but the experience of all.
13. The Head of Information and reporters have the right to gorging themselves, have the right to revise their story angles and escape from the obvious.
14. Reporters can meet 30 minutes daily to transfer knowledge, exchange tips, recommendations and propose an agenda and not Guardian Building Stories.
15. The editors of Judicial and Police, they should remember anyone remember the dead the next day, so it is best to tell stories to explain phenomena and not just reproducing the killed, raped or left between the irons.
16. The wording may not be a series of islands, if someone saw a caption wrong, wrong head, or a poorly edited picture, it is best to immediately comment. Our readers will appreciate and the newspaper better.
17. Reporters agenda must not dictate the Mayor's conference call, but the issues that concern and affect people's lives: safety, health, housing, education, employment.
18. And most important: Before sitting down to write the reporters can I ask, why tell this story?
